Many women go on oral BCP's for a short time to kick start their ovaries, after stopping the DP injections. Some docs seem to do this automatically when. a patient stops DP It is not uncommon not to start menstruating regularly for months, following the last DP injection. Those who are menstruating may not be ovulating. Some women resort to drugs used for infertility to get their ovaries to start functioning.

The official web site Depo-Provera is currently down for "up dating", but I have added the link for Pfizer the drug manufacturer and the link for DP at Web MD.

From the package insert: Return of Fertility(snipped)

DEPO-PROVERA Contraceptive Injection is a long-acting birth control

it takes some time after your last injection for its effect to wear off.

results from a large study done in the United States

women who stop using D-P in order to become pregnant, (after the last injection)

The length of time you use D-P has no effect on how long it takes you to become pregnant:

50% become pregnant in about 10 months after their last injection

66% became pregnant in about 12 months after their last injection

83% become pregnant in about 15 months after their last injection

93% become pregnant in about 18 months after their last injection

No, this doesn't necessarily mean your pregnant. The only way to find out is by doing a pregnancy or test or by seeing your doctor for a blood test. If the bleeding you described is implantation bleeding you would of conceived around March 2 - 12. Do a pregnancy test.
